Today, a local dealer offers you a trade-in allowance of $175,000 for the vehicle. The current market-value for the 4-year-old vehicle is $147,000. a. Use $300,000 original purchase price only. b. Use only $147,000 market value. c. Use only $175,000 trade-in allowance. d. Use all four of these costs.

Jing Inc. is considering the replacement of a piece of equipment with a newer model. The following data has been collected (see the attached image). If the old equipment is replaced now, it can be sold for P60,000. Both the old equipment’s remaining useful life and the new equipment’s useful life is 5 years. Each of the assets has no end-of-life salvage value. How much is the net advantage (disadvantage) of replacing the old equipment with the new equipment?
You are considering two options for manufacturing a typical product: You continue to use an old machine now in use which was bought 8 years ago at $12,000. It has been fully depreciated but can be sold for $7,00. If kept, it could be used for 3 more years (remaining useful life), at the end of which time it would have no salvage value. The annual operating and maintenance costs amount to $10,000 for the old machine. You purchase a brand new machine at an invoice price of $15,000 to replace the present equipment. Because of the nature of the product manufactured, it also has an expected economic life of 3 years, and will have a salvage value of $3,400 at the end of that time. With the new machine, the expected operating and maintenance costs amount to $3,000 for the first year and $4,000 in each of the next two years. What is the opportunity cost of not replacing the old machine now? $700 $1,300 $2,000 $10,000
Freida Company is considering an asset replacement project of replacing a control device. This old control device has been fully depreciated but can be sold for $5,000. The new control device, which is more automated, will cost $42,000. The new device’s installation and shipping costs will total $16,000. The new device will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 2-year economic life to an estimated salvage value of $0. The actual salvage value of this device at the end of 2-year period (That is, the market value of the device at the end of 2-year period) is estimated to be $4,000. If the replacement project is accepted, Freida will require an initial working capital investment of $2,200 (that is, adding $2,200 initially to its net working capital). During the 1st year of operations, Freida expects its annual revenue to increase from $72,800 to $90,000. After the 1st year, revenues from the replacement are expected to increase at a rate of $2,800 a year for the remainder of…
A machine now in use, which was bought five years ago for $4,000, has been fully depreciated. It can be sold for $2,500 but could be used for three more years (remaining useful life), at the end of which time it would have no salvage value. The annual operating and maintenance costs for the old machine amount to $10,000. If you decide to retain the old machine for now, what will be the opportunity cost for gains taxed at 25%?
You have an opportunity to acquire a property from First Capital Bank. The bank recently obtained the property from a borrower who defaulted on his loan. First Capital is offering the property for $200,000. If you buy the property, you believe that you will have to spend (1) $10,500 on various acquisition-related expenses and (2) an average of $2,000 per monthduring the next 12 months for repair costs, etc., in order to prepare it for sale. Because First Capital Bank would like to sell the property as soon as possible, it is willing to provide $180,000 in financing at 8 percent interest for 12 months payable monthly (interest only). Your market research indicates that after you repair the property, it may sell for about $225,000 at the end of one year. Furthermore, you will probably have to pay about $3,000 in fees and selling expenses in order to sell the property at that time. If you wanted to earn a 20 percent return compounded monthly, do you believe that this would be a good…
